D'Onta Foreman's attorney issues statement denying any crime

Chip Lewis is the Houston-based attorney representing Houston Texans running back D’Onta Foreman. Lewis released a statement on behalf of his client. The public statement lays out Foreman’s version of the story behind his arrest on marijuana and gun charges early Sunday.

The statement in full:

One interesting tidbit is Foreman volunteering for a urinalysis test to prove he was not involved in smoking marijuana.

As for the weapons charge, even if Foreman is the legal and lawful owner, Texas law prohibits possession during a crime as one of the avenues where gun possession is not permitted. Section 46.02, part a-1, 2A reads in part,

“A person is engaged in criminal activity other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance.”

Marijuana possession does not fit the exception.

Expect a lot more involvement from lawyers as the Foreman ordeal progresses.
